Organise transport for the casualty to the appropriate medical services. If you are accompanying the casualty, assist in monitoring the casualty's condition and documenting any changes found or treatment given en route. If the casualty makes their own way by car or other private means, or if he/she refuses help, give the casualty the top and green copies of the form and advise them to see their own family doctor.

The top copy of the form is to be given to the hospital / family doctor / medical facility staff and the green copy kept by the paramedic / ambulance service. Keep the blue copy for your own records and give the pink copy to your employer, or those who have asked you to undertake first aid duties on that day.

It is important to keep the forms safely. The information could be used at a much later stage (months or even years later) if any question should be raised about what was done or found on the day. First aid staff must be aware of the possibility of enquiries or litigation claims related to incidents they have been involved in. The form will assist in defending first aid findings and actions in court, should it be necessary. First aid staff in the UK must also be aware that they have a legal obligation to HM Coroner to provide evidence in the case of a casualty’s death. This form will help in providing that evidence.
